I'm still a little uncomfortable using social media when it comes to sharing really sad news. And yet, I know that tweets and posts and blogs really are the fastest way to share.
It is with this in mind that I wanted to let my elearning peeps know that our friend and colleague Tim Martin passed away unexpectedly on Monday 27 February at his home in Forestville, CA.
Many of you know Tim from his years at the eLearning Guild, while others of you may remember him from his days at Allen Interactions, or through his work with the eLearning! Media group this past year. Tim was a feisty, funny, snarky, passionate guy who poured his heart and soul into his art, his friends, and his profession. He loved his partner and his son. He wanted to make the world a better place.
Thanks to those of you who have been quietly reaching out to ask about services, memorials and the like. His family is still reeling and dealing with all those things that must be done. As soon as I have any news to share I will post it here.
Gonna miss your fire, big guy. RIP.
Missing him greatly. Tim was just an amazing and wonderful person, and the smartest I ever met. Thank you for this post Ellen, your words are great and comforting. From Tim's friend forever, David from England.
